Community singing was again to the fore at the concert for Ser. vice men at the Chater Road Naval and Military YM.C.A. last night when a pleasant evening was spent by a large number of men who themselves helped to make the programme go with a swing. Mrs. Costen's arrangements were as effi- cient as those ut preceding enter- tainments which have made these Tuesday night affairs a notable fea- ture of the Service men's life here. The musical items of Mias Alleen Woods and the contributions of Mrs. Richard Sanger, Dr. R. J. McCandles and Mr. Grantham made up a programme which was greatly enjoyed by the many Ser- vice men present who joined hear- tfly in the singing of choruses.

The British Museum is about to be enriched by one of the finest pieces of Roman mosaic pavement known in England, that at Hork- stow Hall, near Barton, Lincoln- shire, on the south bank of the River Humber. This was dis- covered in 1796, when a kitchen garden was being made. Its dimensions are 15 yards by 8 yards. It is believed to have been the floor either of the chief j general's tent or the pavilion of some officer of the highest rank. The pavement represents Roman scenes, the most important of which is a chariot race. Mr. J: W. Hele, of Carlisle, the owner of the property, has consented to its removal to the British Museum on permanent loan,

the guest of the committee of the Shanghai branch of the Royal Society of St. George at an informal luncheon held at the Shanghai Club, last week. The President of the Society (the Very Rev. C. J. F.
